Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim Al Hamdulillah.
Al Hamdulillah. Hamden, Kathy are on the Yemen Mubarak and fie
Mubarak unnati camellia Hedberg, Guna were the Jalla Jalla, who
were among our was Salatu was Salam either, so you didn't have
even Mustafa
SallAllahu Taala either who are either early he or sahih or
barako, a cell limit asleep and cathedra on laomi Dean, a mother.
So really nice to be in your midst today. This evening, early
evening. And may Allah subhanho wa Taala reward you for being here,
make it worth your while and make it a source of benefits Insha
Allah, that we come together to speak about these great women
today. One of them is faulty Mater, the Allahu anha Fatima
Zahra. Now, the Allahu anha. And she's quite an amazing woman. And
I'm actually quite
excited to speak about her because I think this is the first time I'm
speaking about her in particular, especially about there's a number
of things that I actually learnt while researching for this talk.
First and foremost, she is considered the Savior to Nyssa,
meaning are senior to Nyssa al al Amin, if he's ammonia, which means
that she is considered to be the leader of the women of her time,
or of her people.
According to some it's actually more general than that. And the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam characterized her by saying that
she is a part of me. So she is a part of the Prophet salallahu
Salam because she is his daughter.
What's very interesting is that her mother is none other than one
of the greatest women to live, which was Khadija, the Allah
Juana.
She was a businesswoman, as you know, she was a very wealthy
merchant, who had originally hired the Prophet sallallahu Sallam to
work for her as a person, go and do business travel with her
capital. So she was an investor in that sense.
And when she found him to be so trustworthy, responsible, they
decided to she proposed she had a proposal sent to them and then
they got married. And then from them was born Fatima, Radi Allahu
anha. She had other sisters as well. She was born just before the
province house and became a prophet.
So before he became 40 years of age, when he received his initial
prophecy,
that's when she became that's when she was born. Initially.
During the time when they were rebuilding the Kaaba, you know,
before the process and became a prophet, the Kaaba, the Quraysh,
the people of Makkah, they decided to rebuild the Kaaba. So it was
during that time when she was born.
Then the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa salam had her marry Abu Ali
Rhodiola. One,
his nephew, so literally, he got married his cousin sister, right,
because his father, who thought it was probably my son's uncle.
So they were cousins that got married. So it tells us that
cousins can be married. What is what's related is that a worker
the Alon had actually proposed for to her or proposed to the province
a loss and for her, and the process argument said, I'm waiting
for some instruction about that. Then what are the hola Juan
proposed to her again, he said the same thing. And then when added to
the Allahu Anhu proposed to her, then he accepted. In fact, what
was mentioned is that he went to Fatima or the Allahu Anhu. He says
that, you know, it really Allah one it, he's been mentioning you.
That's why I said the Quran, the Quran, the Kuraki is women
mentioning you. So she stayed silent. And generally, when it
comes to virgins in the books, it's written that they generally
don't jump up and yell, yeah, that's great. You know, that's why
we're married or whatever, right? They stay silent. And it's a nice
silence. It's not like an angry silence. No, no, I'm being forced.
No, it's not like that. It's a it's a positive silence. So then
he married he had her marry
ID Rhodiola. Juan.
This marriage took place in the second year of Hijra after the
migration. So she was born before the migration, right? So he had
her they got married about two years after the migration just
after the Battle of butter. That was the initial battle. And
mashallah they have a number of children most of you will know
that they had Hassan and Hussein, the CIP team, which is the
grandsons of the province of Larsen, most famous, they also had
Marcin, I was the third son Marcin, and then they had two
daughters on will consume and Zainab are the Allahu Ana, they
actually the names of her aunts, because those two were also the
daughters of the province of Lausanne, the process my three
other daughters, Rocha, Xena, and oh, Makayla film, aside from 14
Out of the Allahu anha so it looks like these were either very
popular names or she named them after
her after her sisters, the prophets of Allah Islam used to
love Fatima, the Allah who just absolutely adore her and love her
and used to honor her. She's his daughter, but he used to honor
her. And he used to have intimate discussions with her, you know,
like, whisper things to her. So they had a very close
relationship. There's so many. She has numerous, numerous excellences
merits and to her name, but we've got a short amount of time so I've
just picked a few things that I found. She is She has been
characterized by one of the greatest biographers Imam
shamsudeen, the hubby as being sabe Ratan, the unit tune, huh
urutan Sienna tune Connie attune Shakira to nila, that's his few
words to describe her. She was extremely patient. That is a
wonderful characteristic and anybody because you need patience
in this world, if you don't have patience, you will be stressed.
You will be demoralized, you'd have many problems they you know
to very religious and righteous, clear rotten, excellent,
meritorious, beautiful. So you're gonna turn extremely protective
over her chastity and just very particular in that regard cornea,
very content, very satisfied with the smallest of means, and of
course Shakira Lilla extremely thankful and grateful. What a
wonderful combination of characteristic anybody would be
successful with those characteristics. Anybody would be
the May Allah give us such characteristics. 14 out of the
Allahu anha married earlier the Allahu Anhu after the marriage of
the prophets, Allah Allah sent to our Isha, the boy is also married,
I shudder the Allah and how actually, they came together.
After the after the migration was four months and half after that
idea to the Allahu Anhu married 14 Out of the Allahu anha you know
how old Fatima or the Allahu anha was when she got married to our,
to it to the Allah and anybody want to guess?
where these numbers come from? Are they random guesses or they're
calculated guesses? You remember something? You're very close.
Mashallah.
Yes, you're very close. She was to be exact, according to this
narration anyway, she was 15 years old, and 15 years, five and a half
months.
15 years, five and a half months are not bad at all 14 years you
made a bit lower, but that's fine. Right? 15 years,
five months and a half. It's quite traditional to be married at that
time. And remember, I shattered the Allah one who got married when
she was named. So this 15 is quite an average. And already there are
people that are proposing to her, the Prophet sallallahu we used to
love her a lot. And there were there has been instances when he
got angry for her sake. Right? There was something that happened
with her for example, earlier the Allah who was the was the
tradition of the time, so he wasn't doing anything unusual for
that time, he decided to take on a second wave. And this wife was
none other. I mean, he had the daughter of the Prophet salallahu
Salam, but for some reason he decided to he proposed actually to
the daughter of Abu gehele Abu Jamal, remember was the arch enemy
of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam he had actually been killed in, he
was killed in one of the battles and his daughter was there. So he
decided to propose to her and the Prophet sallallahu sallam said
Wallah he loves to teach them you been to Nabil Allah who have been
to the Willa there's no way that a daughter of a prophet and a
daughter of an enemy of Allah can come together. i This is
absolutely no way that's gonna happen.
And then he says we're in the MA Fatima to build or to mini Fatima
is, is part of me. And your Uri benimar raba. What troubles her
troubles me. Whatever troubles her and causes her grievance causes me
grievance whatever inconveniences her causes me inconvenience as
well. So after that the profits a little earlier, the Allah one was
very careful after that he never married another. In fact,
according to that time, he didn't even take another concubine. It
didn't even take a concubine at that time. After she passed away,
then he married then he married other women. But other than that,
until she was alive with him. He never married anybody else. So he
respected that from the Prophet salAllahu alayhi wasallam. In
fact, what's related is that when he went and made the proposal, he
sent a proposal to her uncle Abuja, his daughters uncle who was
alive, how the Fibonacci Sham is famous. Then he came to the
Prophet sallallahu Sallam as his original father in law. And he
said, I want to ask you about the daughter of Abuja. So you can tell
the prophets allows him to answer he says, and Huseby her as a
loony? Are you asking me about her family lineage? ancestory. Right.
So, earlier, they said, no, no, I know her family lineage. I don't
need to know that. I'm asking you at that model knew we had you were
Do you would you tell me to do that? Would you instruct me to, to
marry her? Right? So you can clearly see that it wasn't a
problem in marrying, it wasn't an issue of a second wife. That was
an issue of the time. And he said, Love Of course not. Fatima is a
part of me. And I know that this will be Griever. And so then it
really alarmed said after that I didn't do anything.
I didn't do anything that would, that would hurt her very specific,
very special relationship.
Now the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa Salam is on his deathbed. And
14 Out of the Allahu anha goes to meet him. And she's extremely
grieved because they were very, very close. And she starts crying.
And she says, yeah, abota Illa Jibreel and yeah, butta Ajab Robin
da Yeah, betta, genital Ferdowsi. Ma, this is after he had passed
away. This was her obituary. This was her expression, her laments.
She said, Oh, my father to Jibreel. Do we complain? Do we
declare, do we give the news of your dying? Oh, our father, he has
responded to his Lord who has invited him, Oh, my father or
father genital for those is his about, in fact, before he passed
away when she came to see him, and she said,
work out of a bar. What pain is my father going through? And his
response was Leukerbad, a beaker better than her Valium. After
today, there's going to be no pain on your father, for your Father,
there's going to be no pain after this. So this was afterwards. Then
after the Prophet sallallahu had been buried. She speaks to us
through the Allahu Anhu is the hiding would serve the prophets,
Allah awesome for 10 years or more. And she said she was just
looking at him and because she wasn't there at the burial,
obviously, because the men the Sahaba, they took they took the
professor Lawson so she's just wondering, and she's saying gay
for Talbot and Phu, Kham and death to a Taraba Anna Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wasallam. How How could you have you know, how
does yourself allow you? How did you feel? How comfortable did you
feel in
pouring the soil of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam and seeing him
go basically like how did that feel to you?
Now what had happened is before he passed away during the illness,
right during the illness, I mean, nobody believed that he was going
to pass away. Nobody really wanted to believe that at that time.
Abubakar Siddique really alone had an idea, right? He had got the
signs. But once Fatima the Allahu anha came, and the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam whispered to her, and he told her
that this is in during this illness of mine, I'm going to be
taken, I'm going to be departing the world. So she started crying.
And then he mentioned to her that,
aren't you happy that you're going to be the first to you're going to
be the first to meet me from my family. So you're going to be the
first to depart the world and be with me eventually. And then he
also told me at that time, there's various narrations about this as
to exactly what the discussion was. So one of the things that he
said is that he told her that you are the leader of the women of
Paradise. You're the leader of the women of Paradise. And so she of
course, she smiled, but she had this discussion. She only see it
surely ALLAH Juana came to him, says, Look, I remember you, I saw
that you are your first cry, you first cried when the prophets of
awesome said something to you.
And then after he said something to you, and you started laughing.
And I'm going to ask you by the position that I have over you as a
stepmother or whatever, right? That you must tell me what
happened. She said, No way. I can't reveal the secret. Then when
the prophets Allah has passed away, I actually really wanted to
know she was very curious as she went again, she said the same
thing said you must tell me now. So you said yes. Now I can tell
you. And she said that this is what the Prophet saw someone told
me that he was going to pass away and I'm going to be the first to
to reach him from his
from his family.
I showed her the Allahu Anhu reports that 41 of the other ones
she approached, they were sitting there and Fatima the Allahu Allah
approached, and she says that there was no way that you could
tell the difference between the way she walked her walking style
and the price of awesome style. Their styles resemble each other
in the way they walked. And if you want to know the style of the
Prophet sallallahu, somehow he walked. That's mentioned in the
Shama Al is quite, quite amazing, the dignified way that the promise
or loss of Mr. Walk says that he used to walk as though he is
climbing down the hill, as though he's going down a slope, but he
used to walk very fast, but in a very dignified way. Some just some
very amazing, so 14 Out of the Allahu Anhu used to be like that.
After the after the prophets Allah son passed away, the Khalifa
became a worker Siddiq or the Allah one, so she goes to obika
Siddiq, or the Alon to say that where's our meal?
Roth, where is our inheritance that my father has left as a piece
of land and so on? What do we get? So fat workers to declare the
Allahu Anhu said that the profits or loss was reported that we as
prophets do not leave wealth as inheritance, whatever we leave,
what we leave is knowledge, whatever we leave as in as in
wealth, that is sadaqa that is sadaqa. Now, that was something
that there's various different opinions of how she took that. And
there's various different durations of how she responded
there. But she became ill thereafter anyway. And this is the
particular incident that is exploited by the shear right
against Lucena will jemar, that this was a this was a conspiracy
of Abu Bakr and then Omar after he brought the Allah as well that
this was just to deprive them of the inheritance but this was a
hadith that the promises and this is known for all the prophets
anyway. So it's one of these now then what happens is
shabby really shabby is a tabby is not a Sahabi is a tabby is
somebody who came afterwards, but as Abdullah him not Omar who is a
Sahabi says, that shall be what had the greatest knowledge of the
expeditions of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam his other words,
he was the most knowledgeable one he was the greatest is a
specialist on the expeditions of brava, Laurie Salem. And I
believed everyone says what's very strange is that he wasn't even
there. But he's an expert more than I am, even though I was
there. So he knows about it more than the fact that you know, he
was never there and I was there but he still knows more about it.
So he was a specialist. So this is a very interesting person who's
saying this. He says that when 14 Out of the Allah Han had then
became ill. So remember now, how many months after the peroxisome
did Fatima the hola Juan have passed away? Right? So it's about
six months. There's various opinions, some say three months,
some say four months on the five months, but it's six six months is
kind of where what the most correct opinion seems to be when
she became ill. Abubakar idiom is the belief right? He is the leader
of the Muslim and at that time, it comes in six permission, knocks on
the door seeks permission to come in. So earlier the Allah who
answered Fatima, this is Abu Bakr, they wants to come and see you.
Right. So she said, Would you like that? I permit him. Would you like
that? I permit him. So Amanda hubby's relating the story. He
said, Yeah. So he she she asked him would you permit that I that
he come in? And he said yes. So Amanda hubby says that she's
basically acting on the Sunnah, that it's only this is one of the
two responsibilities that a wife has, that she has to fulfill it
for the husband. Right? These are the two agreed upon
responsibilities that are the default responsibilities as a
wife. And you know, the man man has certain default
responsibilities that he must provide food, shelter, clothing,
and so on. The woman's responsive is two things. One is to be
available whenever he wants her to be available for for for intimacy
and sexual because the other one is to protect his assets and don't
allow anybody to come into the home that he dislikes or that he
wouldn't want to come in. That's it. That's the two basic
fundamental default responsibilities. So even though
he says that, that is why he asked he or she asked him, and when he
said, Yeah, that's fine. So she gave permission to come in. When
she when he came in.
He wanted to just please her, he wanted to, he wanted to yatta
yatta yatta Raba, he wanted to make a happy he wanted to please
this is move across the decree, the Allah one. And he said to
look, whatever the case was about our exchange in the past, he must
have been referring today he says, I have not left and I have not
left my my own home, my wealth, my family, my entire tribe, etc,
except, so that I can gain the pleasure of Allah and His
messenger. And I want to gain the pleasure of the household of the
Prophet sallallahu wasallam of your family and
says until she became pleased with him, this was just before her
death.
She was married at the age of 15. So 15 and a half, she passed away
about 10 years later when she's about 25. Some say she was 29.
There's some difference of opinion because they didn't have birthdays
every year those days. So you didn't count candles in those
days. Right? It was just a rough idea that you had about these
things, it seems so that's why some say 25. The maximum anybody
has said is 29 but most likely is 25 is the is their opinion. So 15
to 25. She was married for about 10 years.
She was younger than Xena, her sister that are the daughter of
the province of Xena was the wife of Ebola ignore Robbie, long story
I don't want to go into his story. It's very interesting. The voice
of Assam used to have a lot of respect for us even Arabic because
he whatever he promised that the promise the lesson he fulfilled
and then she was also
younger than Ruqayyah the other sister who was the wife of who?
With Merner, the Allah one, right? So that's a smile and I found that
the Allah on the third Hadith. Now what's very interesting is that
aside from Fatima, the Allahu anha, none of the other children.
I mean, none of the boys lived to an older age anyway of the Bronx,
Salem, even the daughters, none of them left children, from whom came
further children. And thus there was no progeny. There was no there
were no descendants there were no children, except from Fatima, the
Allah Juana she has a progeny so all the say you say it's today,
right? All those who claim to be or happen to be
family of the Prophet sallallahu sallam, they all come from faulty
model the law and it really Allah. Do we have any here? Anybody who
has a say you Sharif?
Nope.
Okay.
I have some friends who are like that, and I find them to be the
most amazing and generous people. Like with good qualities. I have
at least three or four friends like this. And somehow each one of
them is is a gem Subhanallah and there's so many.
There is one other daughter there is one. You know the Zayn
mentioned the older daughter of the Prophet sallallahu sallam, she
had a daughter called Omarama. She had a daughter called Omarama been
to Xena. And she's the one who the Prophet saw some carried her while
he was in prayer once she is famously known for that the baby
that he carried, she later Can you believe it. She later many many
years later married earlier the hola Juan Ali Rhodiola married her
after she married basically his wife's niece. But after the wife's
death, in Islam, you can't marry an aunt and a niece together.
Right. But after death you can write meaning
once one has one is not there, then you can marry the other one.
And then after that, after it to the Allah one, she married Mahira
ignorance willful ignorance Hadith.
And from her came some children. But there doesn't seem to be that
there was much of a continuation afterwards except from 14 Out of
the Allahu anha.
But one thing you do learn from this is that it was easy for men
and women to get married. Unlike today where if a woman gets
divorced, then she's going to be suffering quite a bit because
there's a massive stigma that our community and our culture attaches
to such a thing. It's really a sad thing. But in those days, he was
quite easy. Somebody's been divorced two or three times
there'll be somebody to marry her. Somebody's lost a husband,
somebody's going to marry her, then somebody's going to marry her
after the second one as well. It's quite, quite normal in those days
for that that to happen.
The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam was once with Fatima
and her husband Ali, and their two sons. He had a shawl or something
of some sort. He covered them all with it. And he said Allahu Maha
Shula he lubricity of Allah this these are the my household these
are the people of my house Allahumma hybond over its water
here home that Hira remove any filth and remove any dirt from
them, remove any pollution from them and purify them entirely. Abu
Huraira the Allahu Anhu said that once the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam looked at Ali and Fatima and Hassan Hussein or the Allahu
Anhu and he said, and a horrible lemon horrible come cinnamon lemon
Salah Welcome. I am at war with anybody who is at war with you.
And I'm at peace with anybody who is at peace with you. He loves
them hugely. So they thought of the Allah who answers that the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam reports the Prophet saw
some said once that an angel has just descended upon me and he has
given me the glad tidings that Fatima is say either to recite
Yeah, he'll Jana is going is the leader of the women of Paradise.
So this was a glad timing that he gave her. And she was of course
very happy with that.
Now, if you think that this was the, the wonderful daughter, the
beloved daughter
of the Prophet salallahu Salam, you think she would be spoiled?
Because today that's what people would probably do. Right? That's
what we kind of have a created an image of the authority amount of
the Allahu anha to you. Do you think she's spoiled? Would you
assume that she'd be spoiled because of all of this? Right? If
he loved this so much, he actually honored her. He said all these
things, where would you think she'd be spoiled? Right? I mean,
some of you may have crossed your mind that a person would never do
anything would never say anything untoward. I mean, he wouldn't
anyway, but but listen to this. This was the ultimate father who
showed the ultimate respect to his children. But at the same time, he
was also the ultimate Morumbi and nurturer and father who did the
right thing. So he taught them the best of morals and manners, and he
told them how to live in this world and how
To focus on the hereafter. So Thoburn relates that once the
Prophet sallallahu Sallam came to visit Fatima and I was there and
she had on a gold necklace, a golden chain a gold chain on
around her neck and she said she just commented she said that this
is what Apple has engaged meaning that Apple has done is her
husband, the father husband, right? I literally and has given
me she's so immediately the profit and loss I'm set to uh, yeah,
Fatima as sort of rock and as a rookie, and the coolness is it
going to make you happy that people say, this is Fatima been to
Bahama, this is the 40, my daughter, Mohammed, and she has
this chain of fire in her hands. He didn't even refer to it as goal
he said chain of fire in hand. And then he just left that was just
enough look at look at the love between them. This is it wasn't
haram, for her to have the necklace, you have to remember
that is just the preference of the Brontosaurus and for himself and
for his children was that they not have any riches of this world.
Because he wanted all of that to be for them in the Hereafter. This
was a very personal thing. This is not something that you know, you
must now get rid of your gold necklaces, of course, please feel
free to do so. If you if you want to be like, right, but it doesn't
mean that it's haram or something. Right? As soon as he left. She
sold that necklace and bought a slave with that necklace with the
value of that. And then she freed that slave what a wonderful way of
getting reward one is you could have just sold it and disposed of
it right but or just gotten rid of it. But she sold it bought a slave
and then freed that slave Subhanallah what what a what an
intelligence to get double the reward because Islam has this huge
encouragement to free slaves wherever you find them. And that
time there were many slaves around. So that was Islam as we
have emancipating them. And then when the Prophet saw some heard
about this words reached the prophets, Allah Iseman, that
that's what that's what he had she had done, he said, Alhamdulillah
Allah, the Niger Fatima terminal, all praises to Allah, who
saved Fatima from the hellfire.
May Allah bless her Imam without religious narration. And that's
why if not bacilli Allahu Anhu relates that the most superior
women of the people of Paradise is Hadiya and Fatima according to
this narration. And then there's the other narration that you
mentioned earlier, which is asiyah as well, the that was the wife of
Pharaoh. She is one of the one of the greatest women. And then
there's, there's a Who's the other one you mentioned, Maryam
Alehissalaam. Sid salaams. Mother, as I've mentioned to you that she
had how many daughters she had three sons and she had two
daughters, right, or Merkel thumb. And she had a mobile phone and
Xena OMO Kulsoom
Do you know who she was married to?
Anybody want to venture a guess?
No, no, no, no.
No, this is overconsume. The daughter of faulty man earlier the
hola Juan so she had OMO Kulsoom and sheds. Zane I'll tell you
about Zenith right. Zainab, her daughter was married to Abdullah
Hebrew Jaffa it'd be thought him. So again within family, right
because earlier the allones brother is
Jaffa right. So this is basically cousins. But then the other
daughter on local film is married to none other than Omar Abdullah
photography, Allah one. It's quite amazing. And wonderful photography
alone. His daughter was married to Dr. Laurie Salem. But he said that
that's my daughter Mota, the person I want connection with the
family of the rossello cinema. So he proposed to alira the hola
Juan, can I marry your daughter, who was much younger than him? And
it really said, look, it's fine. I'll send the T if you like, you
can marry her. Right? So she went and on Meridian said gave her gave
her a response to tell her father and he said okay, fine. You You
know, you can you can marry her. So um, MacArthur was married to
Omar Abdullah katabi. Allah one so much her senior. But there's a
very interesting story related about this. Once there was a
person who had problems with his wife, she would speak very
aggressively to him, she would basically shout at him and so on.
Right speak back at him however you want to say this. And he was
upset. So he says, Let me go until Omar Radi Allahu Ameerul Momineen
because there was the time of Omar was the Ameerul Momineen at the
time or the Allah one. So she went to him. No, he goes to his house,
over the house knocks on the door.
And as he's knocking, he hears this big commotion inside. There's
a woman who's shouting at somebody, a man, there's a woman
shouting at a man. Now, what would you assume that it's the wife
shouting at the husband?
So he thinks to himself, what's the point of me coming here? He's
got the same problem. So he started dejected. He started
walking away. After a while on one of the young opens the door and he
says, Hey, you, where are you where you're going, you know, why
don't you wait up? So he comes back and he says, What do you
need? He says, Well, you know, he says, No telling me what you need.
He says, Well, I came to
to you to tell you something, but I found out that you've got the
same problem. So he says, what is it? He said, Look, this is I've
got a problem with my wife, she speaks back at me and she speaks
loudly at me or whatever the case is. So I'm going to be alone said
that you don't know. He says, she cooks for me. She cleans my
clothes. She does this. She does that she is my protection against
Zina and fornication. And she does all of these other things in how
can I then treat her harshly? This is the Sabra that you have to do.
Right? There's going to be these these quirks within a marriage,
right? There are going to be these quirks in marriage. You just have
to let she's so much his junior. And he said that he could have
easily made an excuse, oh, she was shouting on the phone at somebody.
He was on the phone with somebody where there were no phones at that
time. But you know what I mean? I mean, imagine you got caught with
your wife shouting at you? What are you going to say, Oh, she was
sending some somebody on the phone. She wasn't shouting at me.
Right? Or she was shouting at the slave or the servant or whatever
the case is. But no, he was very upfront about this said that's
what she is. I mean, she gives me everything else that I need. Okay,
I have to deal with some of this. Right? Of course, that doesn't
give the women the license to do this kind of weird stuff. But I'm
just saying that this is just something you have to tolerate
between husband and wife. There's many things we can learn from
these things. I need her the Allahu Anhu once said to his
mother, now this was the distribution of this was the
distribution of responsibility in the house. I think it's quite
amazing actually, I need to do once goes to his mom, and he says
that McAfee faulty metal, head metal, hydrogen, I take care of
all the responsibilities outside the house so far, and doesn't have
to go out and do anything I do the shopping, I do everything. Right,
meaning I do whatever needs to be done outside the house. Well,
here, what, and she does everything inside the house. So
whatever is in the house, she does that I do everything that's
outside the house. So basically says, well, agian Well, hubs, what
pahan she does all of the grinding. And in those days, you
have to grind you didn't have, you know, mixers and grinders and
things like that she had to literally do it by hand is famous
stories about that when the person saw that.
And she does all the baking and everything like that. There's a
bit of another version that's mentioned that once an angel came
to visit me came and sought permission to see me. And he gave
me the glad tidings that Fatima will be the leader of the women
paradise. And in this one it says that Hassan and Hussein are the
Allahu Anhu will be the leaders of the youth of Paradise
is a leader of the youth of paradise.
Everybody is going to be a youth in paradise, because everybody is
going to be about 33 or so years old. 30 to 33 years old. It's a
very interesting statement then.
I shudder the Allahu Allah has now remember, she's like a stepmother,
eight to 14 or the law and she says that I've never seen anybody
more resembling the Prophet salallahu Salam in speech than the
Prophet than Fatima or the Allahu Ana. She resemble the person even
in the way she spoke, when she would enter to visit the Prophet
sallallahu Sallam he would stand up in to honor her to welcome her.
How many parents have you seen do that to stand up to honor their
daughter or even their son for that matter? Right? It's like,
okay, just come and sit down here, man. Right?
I mean, I'm sure there's people who do that. But this is the
prophets, Allah Salam. He used to stand up to welcome her for
Kabbalah. He kissed her whare hubba beha and welcomed her.
A Helen was the Helen warmer haben II welcomed her. And what Karateka
gurnard here does not will be here. This is exactly what she
used to do for him as well. This was just a wonderful relationship.
Alright, you shouted the Allahu anha also reports that the Prophet
sallallahu Sallam once called Fatima
and this is that story. I'm not going to go over it again. This is
that story when he invited I was just during his illness and he
then whispered to her, I shall read the Allahu anha
says that 41 of the Allahu anha remained alive for about six
months. And then after that she was buried at night she
specifically requested now listen to this work and he says that
actually it says that Ibis or the Allah one was the one who
performed the prayer on her. And he Isley and further Libnah Abbas
relatives they
were in the grave to bury the body.
She died specifically
on a
Tuesday night. The third of Ramadan Tuesday night, third of
Ramadan in the seventh according to this the 17th year so it was
either the fifth in the 17th year
while she was 17 No, she was 27 years old according to this one.
So we had 25 or 27 or 29. We got three opinions about this
OMO Jaffa ring
lates that Fatima once Radi Allahu Allah has set to a smart bin to
replace. She said, You know what? I really don't like the way they
treat the women's bodies. My use now OB Nyssa I really don't like
the way they deal with women's bodies after they're dead. Right?
Just look at the modesty that she has is it's amazing that the
modesty she has, they don't like what they do is they just throw a
cloth on her. Which does which basically should, which for Yasi
for her, which means that it reveals what's underneath in the
sense that when you've just throw a cloth on a dead body,
it's not going to it's not going to be very conceding because it
goes over the shape of the body and she didn't like that. She was
complaining about that. So a smart been two roommates who had been to
Abyssinia she said Oh daughter of the prophets of messenger of
Allah. Let me show you something that I used to see in hubba Schein
Abyssinia now remember, nobody's ever done this here before right?
This was just put a cloth on and
people could see the form basically right. So he says she
says let me show you what the Habashi people used to do. So she
called for some moist sticks right some some pieces of wood and she
put it into she put them together into a structure and then she put
the cloth on top of it so she literally made like a covering a
canopy in a sense and Fatima said well Masada wash and this is
wonderful, this is beautiful. And when I die, then make sure you
give me
make sure you and Ally give me the bath. Make sure it's you and ally
that that bathe me and wash me and nobody else should come nobody
else should be present only You two should do this. So then when
she did pass away, and they were bathing her eyeshadow the Lord
comes along
and she wants to enter and a smart says no, you can't come in. So she
goes and tells a walker the hola Juan who is the Khalif right? Her
father. She goes and tells her boubakeur The hola Juan so he
comes along and he stands by the door and he spoke to a smart
and she said look this is her comb. This is her instructions.
Right this is what Baltimorean told me before death. So this is
okay fine first Nyima do what she told you to do. That's fine. And
then he they turned away.
My uncle just passed away recently. And he was a student of
this famous Sheikh in Pakistan. And I remember reading the
biography and the final testament of that Sheikh in Pakistan, Mufti
Rashid, his name was, and I specifically remember at that time
reading, this was years ago, I read this. And I was just reminded
of it when my uncle passed away in his wife told us because I was
part of the bathing
his he had instructed the shake, the grand shake, had instructed
that when I die,
have four people stand on four corners of where I'm where I'm
laying down, where they're going to where they're going to wash my
body, and have them hold a cloth above me. What generally happens
if anybody's taken part in bury in washing the, the deceased is that
they put a cloth on top, and then they wash from underneath? So they
putting the water in there green lights, but the problem is that
it it's not very conceding in the sense that it allows parts to be
kind of revealed, in a sense. So I remember in that then I thought,
wow, this guy really thinks you can see where this comes from now,
faulty Meridian had that same idea. Then my uncle, he said to
his wife, he was a Mufti. He said the same thing. So when we started
washing, I was told this, that
Auntie has said that you hold the cloth over. Now, they did not know
what that meant. I said, I completely clicked to me, just
then I said, Okay, I completely know where it's coming from. So I
got for people to hold cloth on the side. So you can hold it from
above the corner so that there's a drape, right. And to be honest,
what I suggested to people is that you should just actually make a
frame. So you put the person in there, you put the cloth over, and
then you can just easily do otherwise what happens is, I don't
know about you if you've seen this, but when somebody is being
washed, a ton of family members come along, and they're all on a
watch. Now, it's nice that they learn. But the problem is that it
gets very difficult from afar to keep it covered because the people
who are standing there, so if this is where the barrier is going on,
the washing is going on. I can't see what's underneath. But if
somebody was standing far apart, they can see that's actually not
very nice. And while people don't mean to expose anything, it gets
exposed, sometimes you just need to be careful.
In fact, on another occasion, she told a smarter the Allahu anha
that you know, I'm so embarrassed that I'm going to be taken out
among the men tomorrow. Tomorrow means when she dies, she just had
so much huge amount of modesty and bashfulness that she just didn't
want to be exposed in front of men. Now today when you look at
the
these things and you think that this is just all backwardness.
This is against liberalism. This is too conservative. It's coming
from the Prophet. It's coming from the Prophet, his daughter. I mean,
this is from the lion's mouth. We're speaking, right? This is not
some scholars telling you to do this. This is not somebody who
hates women who is doing this. This is a woman where this is
coming from, that she had so much modesty she seemed too smart, that
the Allahu anha in Nila stay an origin rather than other regional
Mineralogists me. I'm fearful tomorrow I'm so embarrassed
tomorrow that I'm going to be taken out tomorrow among men, in
terms of my body is going to be carried by men. So
in this one, it says that our nurse not your lucky, lucky
shaitan are eight likely to Bill Hampshire should I make that
canopy thing for you that are made in Hampshire? And so she made that
canopy.
So then, Fatima gave her a DUA, she said Cetara Killa camasta
Tartini May God conceal you just like the way he concealed me me
guns conceal your sins or whatever the case is.
So then, if not Abdullah bar mentioned that she was the first
person in Islam to be covered that way when being taken.
And so the Allahu Anhu reports that
the Prophet salallahu Alaihe salam for about six months after they
were married after Fatima and Alia they alone there's numerous
stories about this but for about six months, every time he would go
past the house for Fajr. Right? He would he would go past the house
of Fraser and he would say a salata had a BT Muhammad a Salah,
Thea elevated Muhammad, pray a prayer Oh, household of the of
Mohamed in the Marie de la de with Heba unco, Maritza a halal Beatty,
where you thought here or contact Hira
that Allah only wants to remove the filth from you remove any
impurity from you, oh household of the Prophet and he wants to purify
you.
Fatima the Allahu anha has related a number of Hadith which you will
find in the six books. She is related from her father of vSee.
Directly she relates Fatima relates from her father. And some
of the some of her students meaning those who've related from
her are Isha, almost selama and a symptomatic and a number of
others. She's got a number of narrations in Bukhari Muslim or
without in media and other books. And I think I'll just leave it
there. But there's a lot more stories in that battle but I kept
it to this insha Allah this has been insightful for us and
inshallah inspirational working with Derawan and Al hamdu Lillahi
